Lullay, Thou tiny little Child
|
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay;
|
Lullay, Thou tiny little Child,
|
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.
|
|
Oh sisters two, how may we do
|
To preserve this day?
|
This poor Youngling for whom we sing
|
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.
|
|
Herod, the King, in his raging,
|
Charged he hath this day
|
His soldiers in their strength and might,
|
All children young to slay.
|
|
Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
|
And ever mourn and say,
|
For at thy parting nor say nor sing
|
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.
|
|
And when the stars ingather do,
|
In their far venture stay,
|
Then smile as dreaming, Little One,
|
Bye-bye, lulle, lullay.
|
